Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra Concert

Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra, Worthing

The WPO pairs works by two of the greatest Russian pianist-composers: the virtuoso Sergei Rachmaninov and the visionary Alexander Scriabin. Rachmaninov’s enduringly popular Piano Concerto No. 2 will be played on this occasion by Coulsdon and Purley Festival winner Ryan Sheng, himself a young virtuoso pianist of astonishing talent.
Scriabin’s Symphony No. 2 is both a grand statement within the broader late-Romantic century symphonic tradition, and a prophetic hint at things to come in this composer’s highly individual orchestral writing, inspired by his mystic-philosophical worldview.
Parry’s Symphonic Variations open the programme. They remain one of his most popular works and a fine example of the variation form.
